The official-sounding phrase "a grand Consultation" adds humor.

The correct options are

A) The mysterious usage of the word Scales adds suspense.

The term "Scales" is indeed a bit ambiguous in this context, as it is not immediately clear what the scales will be used for. This uncertainty can create a sense of suspense as readers might wonder about the purpose and outcome of using scales in a witch trial.

The phrase "a grand Consultation" sounds overly formal and pompous, especially in the context of a witch trial, which could be seen as ridiculous or absurd. This formality adds a layer of humor, as it contrasts with the gravity of the situation.

The other incorrect options are

B) The informational phrase "the Time and Place was agreed on" makes the scene feel real - This phrase contributes to setting up the logistics of the trial, giving it a factual and organized tone, which grounds the scene in reality.

D) The modern-sounding word advertised makes the excerpt easier to read - The word "advertised" is straightforward and modern, making the language accessible to contemporary readers.

Take a well-known story, such as a fairy tale or one of Aesop's fables, and rewrite the ending in which you put your own twist on the story. Examples of stories that you may want to use are: Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs, or Aesop's Fable of "The Hare and The Tortoise." But do not limit yourself to one of these fairy tales. Choose a fairy tale that you know well. Do not write out the original story. Pick up the story somewhere at the end of the original story and begin your own ending at that point. For example, if you choose to do a new ending for Cinderella, you might start off with: "The clock struck twelve . . ." And then the rest of what follows would be your new ending, from that point on in the story. Your writing that you submit should be your own original ending and should not include more than a sentence or two of the original story. Most likely, your teacher will be familiar with the original story and therefore does not need to read the story again. Your teacher just wants to read your writing. Your teacher does not grade on length, but in order for this to be a well-developed and creative twist on an original story, your writing should be at minimum of 200 words.
